terminal process longer than outer, with rows of very fine plumosities, 

 outer terminal process with membranous borders. 



Maxilliped (fig. 25/) 2-segmented, complex, situated posterior to 

 maxilla base. First segment irregular, lumpy, with heavily sclero- 

 tized distal knob projecting past second segment and terminal process, 

 receiving terminal process of second segment when segment flexed. 

 Second segment and terminal process attached to posterior distal 

 surface of first segment, segment distinct from distally rounded termi- 

 nal process. Subtriangular process (fig. 25^) present between posterior 

 ends of maxilliped bases, projecting ventrally and bearing adhesion 

 surface distally. Process closely associated with maxilliped bases but 

 not attached directly to them, similar to condition of sternal furca- 

 bearing caligoids. 



Thoracic legs I-IV biramous, with 1 -segmented protopodite and 

 2-segmented rami. For nature of armature and legs see table 10 and 

 figures 2Qa-d.
